Follows on from my earlier track "Passion for the Beyond", though a little jazzier. Brass sounds from a VST (MIDI-triggered) instrument. Image: Gencraft.

The latest in the Texas Tea series, this is Rusty Shackleford Rides Again.  Terry had the spark for this one.  Once I heard his ideas the guitar part kinda flowed naturally.  Terry did a killer job on the mix and final production as well. This is dedicated to one of our mutually admired cartoon icons.

Warm acoustic ensembles blending Mediterranean and Hebrew folk motifs with Western chamber jazz harmony. That's a mouthful- and by design... a pleasant EARFUL too! Enjoy :)

'Living In The Red Dust' A Daoist term, 'Red Dust. is the view that the vast majority of the population of Planet Earth are either involved in and/or are oblivious to, the wars, genocide, poison of earth, water and air of our planet. Those of us who are exempt from either camp, must still live in the 'Red Dust'. So this track featuring Georg on winds, soloing and wind ensemble arranging, is our acknowledgement of the above grievances to the planet and all life on it, that we  both share.

After updating my new time travel profile pic, I figured it was also time to refresh the bio. The amount of world-class talent on the Cloud never ceases to amaze me. I don’t say that lightly – I’ve learned so much from so many of you. There are artists here I genuinely consider among the best musical talents I’ve heard anywhere. And I have heard a ton of music.
I’m a lifelong music addict. For me, music can be transformative, cathartic, joyful, and intellectual – often all at once. My taste? Almost anything done well. Almost. My own music is eclectic: from acoustic guitar pieces to jazz fusion, to prog/alternative/psychedelic rock, to electronica.
What really keeps me here, though, is the community – the interaction, and the sense of connection that somehow forms even when we never meet in person. The goodwill and respect are something special, and I don’t take that for granted.
Finally, regarding recording – if you’re still reading! – my humble studio hasn’t changed in 15 years. I’m even still running Windows 7 to support my old Steinberg DAW. No AI tools – just me, I like to control the physical process at every step, from idea, to playing, editing, mixing, and final production.
